The Environmental Protection Agency said new government tests of groundwater near Pavillion, Wyo., have yielded results similar to data it released last year, when it suggested chemicals in the water were linked to hydraulic fracturing.

The EPA's contention was dismissed by Encana Corp., the natural-gas company operating in the area, which said the EPA was still offering a "flawed" interpretation of test results.
